The Most Non-Focused Book I've Ever Read
My book club at work decided to stop reading after completing about 80% of the book. We have never done that before, but the book was so unfocused we found it painful and insulting. It is clear that the author of this book is very intelligent and has a wide range of interests. However, the book reads more like a collection of blog entries and book ideas but was the opposite of a book on focus. Before voting on the title, we read the poor reviews and decided that it couldn't be that bad, yet is was worse than we imagined. It was a collection of 3 - 5 page opinionated starts and abrupt subject changes with no cohesiveness. It might work if you have no interest in one book but rather 60 partial books with no central theme. We have read many books that some didn't personally like, but this feels truly like a printed blog.
